I didn't remember it, but this
was brought up once before.
Because it's at the end of the last chapter, it's included as a chapter note element and controlled by the
exclude_notes setting. There are other notes that are only included at the end of the 'final' chapter--which moves when a story updates.
FFF operates on a paradigm of getting metadata separately from chapter data. Metadata is collected first, then used to make decisions about chapters to fetch and to allow for metadata update with less traffic. FFF does have a AO3 only feature
use_view_full_work (on by default), but that's not invoked until chapter fetching.
To reliably include AO3 'Inspired by' links in the metadata would require fetching the last chapter text in extractChapterUrlsAndMetadata() to look for the 'inspired by' links. Ideally, it would then use the
make_linkhtml_entries feature (and keep_in_order_) to make proper HTML links rather than just a strings. The author links could not currently preserved.
IMO, it's rare enough to not be worth the extra network hit. But if you really want it, I'd accept it as a default-off optional feature.
